That’s Hawaiian for guardian, protector. My Brat Pack and me, we live with open fields, muddy tractor trails, and a whole lotta freedom. Alex and Darius, my boys, came from cages, now they run wild and happy. I work with the community too, helping street dogs get spayed and live better. Dawgs gotta be dawgs, that’s my vibe. ### My work - **What I Offer**: Canine behavior counselling, pet parent training, canine holistics, nutrition (yup, advanced raw-feeding), and homestay-style dog boarding. - **Natural Dog Training**: Dogs learn from dogs here. Training is organic, no fear, just calm pups showing the ropes. - **Puppy Socialization Program**: Pups meet gentle, wise dogs at my homestead. They learn the natural way, no forced stuff. - **Holistic Dog Care**: I look at the whole dog - mind, body, grub. Canine holistics and raw-feeding diets are my jam. - **#TUDpawcation Boarding**: No kennels, just open space. Dogs join the pack, hang out, run, play, chill. Home vibes all the way. ## Book To book The Urban Dawg, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20The%20Urban%20Dawg.)
